Batangueñong Pulis

Camp Gen. Miguel C. Malvar, Batangas – Disyembre 30, 2024

Upang masiguro ang kaligtasan ng bawat Batangueño ngayong Kapaskuhan at Bagong Taon, mas pinaigting ng Batangas Provincial Police Office (BPPO) ang operasyon laban sa paggamit at pagbebenta ng iligal na paputok.

Simula Disyembre 16, 2024, hanggang ngayon, nakakumpiska ang mga awtoridad ng higit 4,198 na iba’t ibang uri ng iligal na paputok tulad ng Piccolo, Giant Bawang, Giant Whistle Bomb, at mga mapanganib na kagamitan tulad ng Boga. Umabot na sa ₱391,285.00 ang kabuuang halaga ng nakumpiskang paputok at ₱24,350.00 naman ang halaga ng mga nakuhang Boga.

Ang mga bayan ng Tanauan at Balayan ang may pinakamaraming naitalang kumpiskasyon ng iligal na paputok.

Isang indibidwal, 42 taong gulang mula sa Sto. Tomas City, ang nahuli at nahaharap ngayon sa kaso alinsunod sa Republic Act No. 7183 (batas na nag-aayos ng paggawa, pagbebenta, at paggamit ng paputok) at Republic Act No. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act).

Sa kabila ng mga operasyon, tatlong (3) insidente ng pagkasugat dulot ng paputok ang naitala, karamihan ay nagtamo ng paso sa tiyan, hita, at kamay.

Dahil dito, muling pinapaalalahanan ang publiko na huwag gumamit ng iligal na paputok na maaaring magdulot ng peligro sa sarili at sa iba.

Para sa anumang impormasyon o emergency, maaaring tumawag sa hotline 09171849829 o bumisita sa page ng Batangueñong Pulis.

Kalagayan ng Kapayapaan at Mga Hakbang
Sa kabila ng mga insidente, nananatiling maayos ang kapayapaan at kaayusan sa Batangas. Patuloy ang mga aktibidad tulad ng intelligence monitoring, checkpoints, at visibility patrols upang tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng lahat.

Nakikipagtulungan din ang Batangas PNP sa mga lokal na pamahalaan, paaralan, at iba pang sektor para itaas ang kamalayan laban sa iligal na paputok. Isinusulong ang mga kampanya sa impormasyon at community outreach programs.

Mensahe
“Ang inyong kooperasyon ay mahalaga upang magkaroon ng isang ligtas at payapang pagdiriwang ng Bagong Taon. Sama-sama nating isulong ang mas ligtas na mga paraan upang ipagdiwang ang Bagong Taon nang hindi nakakasakit sa sarili at sa iba.”

Mga Paalala para sa Kaligtasan

1. Gumamit ng mga torotot, party poppers, at iba pang ligtas na noisemakers.

2. Bantayan ang mga bata upang maiwasan ang anumang insidente.

3. Maghanda ng first-aid kit.

4. Siguraduhing nakakulong o nakatali ang mga alagang hayop upang maiwasan ang aksidente.

5. Humingi agad ng tulong medikal kung sakaling may emerhensiya.

Maging responsable at tumulong sa pag-iwas sa iligal na paputok.
Manigong Bagong Taon, Batangas!

In the spirit of the holiday season, San Miguel Corporation (SMC), through its SMC Infrastructure arm, continues its tradition of waiving toll fees across its expressways on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve to provide smoother travel for motorists.

Motorists using the Skyway System, NAIA Expressway (NAIAX), South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), STAR Tollway, and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) can enjoy toll-free passage from 10:00 PM on December 24 to 6:00 AM on December 25 and from 10:00 PM on December 31 to 6:00 AM on January 1, 2025.

𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹

24/7 Traffic Monitoring: Traffic monitoring centers will operate around the clock to oversee the flow of vehicles.

Avoid tailgating at toll plazas for smoother RFID scanning.

Register for Autosweep RFID for free, with easy reloading options available through e-wallets, online banking, or Autosweep customer service centers and kiosks.

In the spirit of the Yuletide season, San Miguel Corporation (SMC), through SMC Infrastructure, is continuing its annual tradition of waiving the toll fees at expressways it operates on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve to make holiday travel smoother for motorists.

Toll fees across SMC’s expressways — including the Skyway System, NAIA Expressway (NAIAX), South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), STAR Tollway, and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) — will be waived from 10:00 PM on December 24 to 6:00 AM on December 25, and again from 10:00 PM on December 31 to 6:00 AM on January 1, 2025.

“This is our way of saying thank you to everyone who uses the expressways we operate. It’s something we look forward to every year because it helps thousands of motorists get home to their families a little easier, especially during Christmas and New Year,” SMC Chairman Ramon S. Ang said.

Ang said it has also laid out operational initiatives to ensure the safety and security of motorists along its tollway network.

Starting 12 noon on December 20, patrollers and security personnel are to be deployed in critical areas, while emergency response personnel will be placed on alert.
Traffic monitoring centers at each of the expressways will be staffed round-the-clock to keep watch over the flow of vehicle traffic.
Roadworks that may affect traffic flow will be suspended, starting noon of December 20, up to January 3, 2025 to free up space along carriageways.
Tow trucks and other emergency vehicles are also being pre-positioned at strategic areas to be able to respond to incidents quickly.

Meanwhile, SMC Infrastructure has stepped up its coordination with the traffic management offices of local government units, to minimize traffic bottlenecks in their jurisdictions.

Congestion at local roads usually contribute to traffic flow at expressway exits, which in turn trigger vehicular congestion at the carriageways.

“We appeal to our motorists for patience as we anticipate heavy traffic around Metro Manila, which may affect their travel plans or scheduled flights. We advise them to plan their trips ahead and allot more time for travel, to make sure they arrive at their destinations on time,” the company said.

The expressway operator reminded motorists to ensure they have enough load in their Autosweep RFID accounts, to prevent delays at exits.

Motorists are also asked to avoid tailgating at toll plazas so that RFID scanners can read their tags properly.

For those who have not yet registered, the company encourages motorists to sign up for Autosweep RFID, which is free of charge. Loading Autosweep RFID accounts is quick and convenient through electronic payment systems, online banking, e-wallets, or by visiting Autosweep customer service centers and kiosks located across the expressway network.

Additionally, SMC Infrastructure advises motorists to check their vehicles before traveling to ensure they are roadworthy and avoid potential incidents while on the expressways.

For road emergencies, motorists can contact the following hotlines for assistance:
Skyway System and NAIAx (02-53188655 or 0917-5398762);

CELEBRATING SUCCESSFUL SYNERGY. Aboitiz Construction marks the first anniversary of its Apo Agua Treated Water Pipeline Project, celebrating a year of excellence, 35,000 safe man-hours, and a commitment to operational excellence and collaboration.

Aboitiz Construction, Inc. celebrated the first anniversary of its Treated Water Pipeline Project for Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc. (AAII) last November 2024 in Davao City. The milestone reflects a year of excellence in industrial maintenance, highlighted by almost 35,000 safe man-hours without a lost-time incident.
The project, which maintains a 52-kilometer pipeline delivering treated water to various off-take points across Davao City, plays a critical role in ensuring the city’s access to clean, sustainable drinking water.

“We at Apo Agua, together with Aboitiz Construction, have pioneered a new trend in synergy and collaboration within the Aboitiz Group for Asset Management and Maintenance. I’m proud to say it started with us. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to ensuring a continuous supply of clean, sustainable drinking water to Davao City. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without your hard work. Let’s continue delivering top-quality service and finding ways to improve our systems”, said AAII’s Asset Manager Jay de Vera.

The project began in 2023 when Aboitiz Construction’s Industrial Maintenance team secured a contract with AAII to provide preventive maintenance for the city’s water pipeline infrastructure. Over the next three years, the partnership aims to ensure uninterrupted water supply through comprehensive maintenance services for pipelines, valves, and appurtenances, further enhancing Davao City’s water infrastructure.

“We are happy to celebrate a successful year of collaboration in the Apo Agua project. Aboitiz Construction’s capabilities in project ex*****on, maintenance, and innovation continue to drive our commitment to building for business to prosper and communities to thrive,” said Aboitiz Construction’s Chief Operating Officer Ramez Sidhom.

This first-year milestone highlights Aboitiz Construction’s commitment to operational excellence, risk management, and team work—core values that drive the company’s mission to support business growth and expansion.
